For the moment, the port does not support KDE. (i.e. I disable it) The 0.6.0 version which should be released shortly has some new KDE integration bits, but I don't have a KDE testing environment at the moment. Patches are happily accepted, but I can't currently test beyond tinderboxing it all to make sure it builds cleanly. > In the meantime, you can try: > - downloading the source for the additional packages from the compiz > websites and trying to compile them yourself >=20 > - running compiz under GNOME (this worked fine for me with the latest > compiz and compiz-fusion - thanks to Roland for porting the latest stuff!= ) > You can use gtk-window-decorator and the 'gconf' plugin to get up and=20 > running. >=20 > - Try Beryl, which is MUCH more user-friendly, at least IMO... it comes > with a GUI for configuring plugins (Beryl Settings Manager) and a GUI > for configuring Beryl itself (Beryl Manager), not to mention its own > window decorator, so you can run it on many desktop envs. Again IMO, > Compiz-Fusion can really use these GUI front-ends from Beryl since > they're now integrating Beryl's plugins and Emerald back into compiz > source - it'd be a good idea to raise this point w/ the devs there. Compiz also has a configuration gui, which I will probably get committed in the next day or so. The big caveat is that enabling/disabling plugins via ccsm is causing compiz to segfault. I don't yet have a solution to that problem, so I still recommend configuring or at least enabling/disabling plugins via gconf editor. robert. > Sorry if this was not more helpful, as I have no direct solution > to offer you on KDE.
